Love this entire post. Autumn is fantastic. I was worried we'd get gypped over here in the northeast because the colors seemed duller than normal but today they're full-on bright. Guess they were just a little late...

I really love this dress. I was completely fascinating by insects as a child, but I'm not so fond of them now that I'm grown up and they get in my house! I think this dress would be the perfect adult transition of an obsession.

ugh i looooove emily dickinson. her whole complete collection of poems are amazing. i cant believe she wasnt discovered till after her death. she is ammmazing. and i am utterly jealous that you get to actually experience fall.

Ahhhh I love it so much! I love everything about the outfit, I really want some more coats like that. I loooove the scenery, autumn trees are my favourite. I love how your stockings contrast with the orange leaves. This post has made me very happy and inspired :):):)

oh rebecca, this has made me so happy! i know i say i hate picking favourites, but emily dickinson is possibly my favourite poet ever! along with tennyson and edna st-vincent millay and shakespeare and leonard cohen and... ANYWAY, my point is, i love her, and your dress is deliriously beautiful, and the leaves are so lovely, and i have tights which are exactly the same colour, and i'm thrilled to bits that you've combined excellent poetry + a beautiful dress + fun tights + the beauty of autumn into one post!

This is one of my favourite dresses of yours. It reminds me of one of my mother's old school projects where she had to pin and preserve butterflies. It's still hanging in my grandmas house. It's very pretty but I much prefer butterflies on pretty dresses like yours!
